Commissioner Eggert noted that this is a 5 year plan while <br />some of our others are 20 year plans, and Director Davis <br />explained that this is one element of the 20 year plan. <br />Commissioner Eggert expressed the hope that we could develop <br />this as passively as possible and that we are not required to <br />have everything there all at one time. <br />Director Davis noted that we are committed to open the <br />property up for public access in 5 years, but we are not <br />committed to implementing this whole plan in 5 years. He hoped <br />that we could phase this into 3 or 4 projects and possibly apply <br />for $150,000 in each phase. <br />Commissioner Bird reported that the state is considering the <br />purchase of a tremendous stretch of property under the C.A.R.L. <br />Program. He felt it is admirable to acquire as much oceanfront <br />as possible, but pointed out that this could have a large <br />economic effect on the county. He, therefore, felt it would be <br />wise to monitor what is being planned. <br />Acting Administrator Collins agreed; he informed the Board <br />that we have had some offers of property from beachfront owners <br />which may tie some of these pieces together, and he felt it would <br />be wise to have some graphs on which we could locate these and <br />view them in relation to our existing sites and to the proposed <br />C.A.R.L. properties. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed the state is interested in <br />these properties because of the turtle nesting area and because <br />of the coastal hammock. <br />Director Davis brought up the possible impact of the <br />development of the Town of Orchid on our park system, and he felt <br />any future development in this area should pay some contribution <br />to opening up this property for beach access. <br />OCT 41988 <br />38 <br />BOOK 74 MME 435 <br />
